This dialog is shown when you open or reload an analysis file in which the path to one or more information links is no longer correct. The dialog may look different depending on whether you open the file or reload data.
Option |
Description |
Copy
GUID |
Copies the GUID of the information link to the clipboard. The GUID is a unique identifier for the information link that remain the same if the name of the information link is changed. This can be useful for support or an administrator if the information link cannot be found. |
Browse for the missing
information link |
Opens a dialog that lets you browse or search for the missing information link. |
Do not load any data
for this source |
Opens the analysis, but the data source based on the missing information link will contain no data; all column information for this source is lost. If the data table is built by more than one data source, the resulting data table may still contain data from the other sources. The complete data table history is available in the Data Table Properties, Source Information tab. The empty source will still be visible in the data canvas and can be replaced, if desired. |
Leave the resulting
data table empty |
[Only available if the source was configured to use Always new data.] Opens the analysis, but the data tables based on the missing information link will become empty. However, the information about which columns were included in the data table is kept, which may help fixing the analysis if the data table is replaced at a later stage. The complete data table history is available in the Data Table Properties, Source Information tab. |
Use stored data |
[Only shown if data from the missing source is available in the analysis.] Select this option to open the analysis even though the connection to an information link is broken. Stored data will be used instead of new data from the missing link. Note that the data from this source may be older than intended, if the analysis was originally designed to load linked data from the original source each time the analysis was opened. See Embedded or Linked Data? for more information about different data loading options. |
Skip this data table |
[Only shown when trying to reload a data table that for some reason cannot be reloaded. For example, it could be an embedded data table where some source is missing.] Select this option to skip reloading of this particular data table and keep the data that is available in the analysis. Note that the data in the analysis may be older than intended, if you perform a reload all operation and skip the reload for a certain data table. |
Apply to all missing
sources of this type in this analysis |
[Not available when reloading a single data source, and not for options that open other dialogs.] Select this check box to apply the selected solution to all missing information links in this analysis. |
